The 1st Circuit is again weighing whether to throw out Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's death sentence. SCOTUS restored his death sentence after the appeals court tossed it in 2020. Now Tsarnaev is making a new push to avoid execution. From @AP:

Kudos to all the working reporters, bloggers, YouTubers etc. who slogged through this #RKelly trial, which was alternately entertaining, grueling, and painful to watch. @samjcharles @SeidelContent @crepeau @AltheaLegaspi @agrimm34 @TaraMolinaTV @mtarm @leahhopeABC7 to name a few

The #RKelly judge has normally gone each day until around 5 p.m. Central. Jurors know that and so may well be shooting to have everything done soon _ within the hour.
Count 6 may have been the final stumbling block for deliberating #RKelly jurors. We could be getting word soon they are done and want verdicts read.
Things could move fast from here on out today.
